GDT: [Emergency GDT, 3/16/25 1:30 MT] Avs vs Stars and the Battle for the Moose's Soul

[expatriatedtexan]

Being a Stars fan and seeing him so emotional here must be weird. He obviously loves Colorado and I am sure as time goes by he'll integrate himself more into being a Star. But it's obvious Colorado was where he wanted to be. f*** his agent.

Sounds like Mikko is simply regretting ringing the FAFO bell.

Everyone keeps saying the agent works for the player. If Mikko felt his agent screwed him over from signing with the Avs in any way, shape or form he certainly would have fired him by now, eh?

 

[the_fan]

Today was the first game I actually didn't like Coyle. I felt like he got pushed around a lot by the likes of Duchene and Granlund of all players.

If he is going to be effective, we need heavy, big boy hockey from him.

Landy will help that line with Coyle

 

[Jarey Curry]

stupid question but yeah faceoffs are very important, how come is it so hard for quite many centers? shouldnt they be practicing faceoffs like almost everyday?

I just smile and wave when I see these graphs nowadays. I thought Rosco and Lindgren looked pretty good and that Nelson looked pretty bad lol.

 

[Avs_19]

He sounds like a wreck. Probably even more emotional than expected.

 

[lionsDen]

Does anybody know what Colorado’s record is now before georgiev and after(this season)

 

[Avs_19]

 

[JoeSakic13]

Our easiest schedule was back in October, but Georgiev

FTFY

 

[lionsDen]

If Nelson can do everything right minus the goals. It’s better then having mittlejost

 

[JoeSakic13]

Anyone who’s unsure why we still boo this clown should be sent this clip.

Always had a winner's attitude

 

[TheDangerBowen]

Wow sick interview Duchene you're such a badass!

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Avs really need to clean things up defensively. The Stars second and third goals were pretty terrible breakdowns. The second could’ve been avoided if EJ played defense instead of swimming around repeatedly, the third Girard is way too soft getting the puck out of the zone

 

[AvsCOL]

The Kelly/Drury/LOC line was absolutely great tonight. Don’t know if I remember a game in the last few years where we had our 4th line matched up against the other teams 1st line.

That can’t go unnoticed. Amazing stuff.

Yeah that matches the eye test. Makar was easily the best player. The 4th line was low event but kept the puck in the OZ with good forechecking. The 3rd line was pretty bad at times in the 3rd period. Lindgren I thought was better than that chart indicates though.

Those graphs are as meaningless as a comb to bald person

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Penalties could’ve been 20-3 considering how much the Avs carried play and how many blatant infractions the Stars were taking.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Except when they show that Makar is awesome

 

[dahrougem2]

He speaks as if the Stars didn't deserve every penalty tonight. Marchment call aside, they were all warranted (and the refs even missed Robertson's high stick). This guy has never not been a whiner.

It is going to be brutal if EJ has to play a lot come playoff time.

We were all clamouring for them to add another dman, I was hoping someone that could still play. Maybe Wyatt Aamodt’s actually a dominant shutdown defender

Yeah he was largely anonymous, and when he got on the puck he repeatedly fumbled passes. Not a great game at all

 

[CobraAcesS]

Boo fkn hoo

They missed calling Makar getting cross checked in the teeth. Them being owed a soft penalty call after the bad call on Toews tripping Makar was quite the narrative.

There was plenty of other calls missed as well.

Typical answer from Duchene though.

 

[Richard88]

Lol this guy. The penalties the Avs got were for obvious high sticks and holds. If anything there should have been more calls for trips, slashes, and the face-check by Robertson on Makar. The trip called against Marchment was wrong but hardly undeserved given the amount of calls that went uncalled. The Avs dominated and earned those PP's.

 

[The Merchant]

Exactly why this little bitch will never be a champion.

Yeah, I really hope it doesn't cost them. Spending all those assets on Nelson and Coyle, there didn't seem to be much left for a defensemen beyond too valuable assets like Gulyayev and future 1st round picks, though it would have been nice to rope in Romanov to the Nelson deal somehow.
